Why are we acting like the concept of giving credit when your work is based on somebody else’s work is new?
There is a whole process for it that nobody seemed to have a problem with until a few years ago.
Nobody is telling people they can’t use other work as inspiration
They’re saying it you do. You need to credit them.
Giving credit is only seen as a “punishment” if you feel entitled to profit off the work of somebody else
This entitled POV aligns with the historical perspective of greedy label execs and producers that robbed artists left and right but you’re trying to reframe is as “pro-artist”when it’s not.
